conversation 8 #Morality

Summary

I watch the movie “parasite” and the moral dilemma in the movie revolves around the Kim family's entrance and deception to secure employment within the wealthy Park family's household. As they become involved in their elaborate plan,even including whether to reveal their true identities and intentions to the Parks.
Possible outcomes from the movie with characters' responses by following the 7 moral positions such as.
1. I would follow my conscience-The Kims could choose to confess their deception and face the consequences, driven by their moral compass. This decision may lead to a loss of their newfound livelihood and potentially legal repercussions.
2. I don’t know what I would do-The Kims might struggle to decide on a course of action, torn between revealing the truth and maintaining their comfortable lifestyle within the Park household.
3. I would do whatever would improve my own situation-Opting for self-preservation, the Kims could continue their deception to secure their employment and financial stability, disregarding the ethical implications of their actions.
4. I Would Do What God or the Scriptures Say Is Right-Depending on their religious beliefs, the Kims may feel compelled to confess their deceit and seek forgiveness, guided by their faith's moral teachings.
5. I Would Do Whatever Made Me Happy-Pursuing personal satisfaction, the Kims may prioritize their own happiness and financial security, regardless of the harm inflicted on the Parks or the ethical consequences.
6. I would follow the advice of an authority figure- The Kims might seek guidance from a trusted authority figure, such as their father or a mentor, to navigate the moral complexities of their situation and determine the best course of action.
7. I would do what’s best for everyone- Considering the well-being of all parties involved, the Kims could choose to reveal their deception in a way that minimizes harm and fosters understanding, aiming for a resolution that benefits both their family and the Parks.
In this situation, I would lean towards the seventh moral position, prioritizing what's best for everyone involved. I believe that honesty and transparency are crucial for fostering genuine relationships and resolving conflicts. By revealing their true identities to the Parks, the Kims can work towards a resolution that acknowledges the complexities of their situation and promotes mutual understanding and empathy.
I believe it's important to tell the truth, understand how others feel, and treat them with respect. Being open and talking honestly helps build trust and make relationships strong, even when things are tough.
